MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) – The Portland Sea Dogs scored four runs in the eighth inning to post a 6-3 comeback win over the New Hampshire Fisher Cats on Friday night in the Eastern League.

The key blow for Portland (20-27) in the inning was Mike O’Keefe’s two-run double.

The rally erased a 3-2 lead New Hampshire (26-20) had built on a pair of Justin Singleton home runs. It was the first two-homer game for a Fisher Cat.

Portland took a 1-0 lead in the third inning when Joe Kilburg doubled and scored on Eric Johnson’s single. The Sea Dogs scored again in the fourth inning on Jeff Bailey’s RBI single.

Singleton had a solo home run in the fifth inning and a two-run shot in the seventh, his sixth and seventh of the season. Jason Howell (3-2) was the winner for Portland. Ryan Jackson (3-6) took the loss.
